A Garbage Truck Birthday!

October 23, 2015

Spencer got to pick the theme of his party this year and he’s loving garbage trucks right now so that was that!

We did it on a morning that school was out and kept it simple with just balloons, balls and a bounce house in the backyard. They didn’t have a garbage truck bounce house but Spencer saw the Monster Truck one and decided it would be perfect!

We had so many good friends and family join to celebrate Spencey! It was a beautiful fall morning and perfect for playing outside.

The kids bounced and bounced and bounced and dug in the sand table and threw those big balls all over the yard!

Since the party was in the morning we decided to go with doughnuts instead of a cake. I think those kids liked the doughnuts better than any cake I could have given them!

Spencer blew out the candles…

and got a doughnut for each hand! He quickly ate the icing off of both, handed the remnants to GJ, and took off to keep bouncing! No better way to celebrate being 3!!

Spencey was in typical Spencey form. I got smart this time though and brought 2 things that helped greatly – suckers…

and GJ!

He was a sticky mess with those two suckers but he sure was happy for the entire game! “Go Max-cell go!”

Maxwell did great. He hustled and got after the ball. He’s definitely not afraid to get up in there and go for it!

He scored 3 goals…

Roll Tide

October 12, 2015

Happy Monday! Robert and I got to go to Tuscaloosa this weekend to the Alabama game. It was a PERFECT fall, football night and we had a great time!

We had awesome seats in a box with all the food and drink we could want. That’s the way to go to a game!

Huge thanks to Ronnie for the tickets…

and and huge, huge thanks to GJ for coming in to keep the kids! Despite what it looks like here…

GJ

she had things totally under control!

Things were a little tense around halftime but then AL decided to show up and play the second half and we took home a big W over Arkansas!

20 years

October 5, 2015

Happy Monday! This past weekend we headed to Montgomery for Robert’s 20th High School reunion. Robert got to see some old friends, we both did a little birthday celebrating, and we all got to meet the newest member of the family! Robert’s sister, Mary Beth, had her baby on September 27th so we got to spend some time watching football with 6 day old Margaret Louisa Walls. What a treat!

The boys thought she was pretty neat.

She kept making little noises and Spencey said, “Baby Mah-get’s squeaking!” ย ๐Ÿ˜‰

Baby Mantha wasn’t too pleased when I was holding Margaret. Jealous much?

We’re so glad she’s here safe and sound and happy to have another girl in the family born 8 months to the day after Samantha!

We also had some cake to celebrate 37 and 39! woohoo!

For the reunion, Robert and I stopped by the high school football game on Friday night. It was pretty cold with drizzly rain but still fun for Robert to see familiar faces and allow us both to wax nostalgic about the good ole days of Friday night lights, football, and cheerleading! An after party at Francie’s provided plenty of stories of days gone by and maybe even an embarrassing yet hilarious picture or two. On Saturday we went to the cocktail party at the school and enjoyed visiting with everyone.

It really was a good weekend with several fun things packed in. You know…20 years out of high school (well, 18 for me!) sure doesn’t look or feel as old as I used to think it would. Cheers!
